Owner Martha Hoover

As former sex crimes prosecutor, Patachou Inc. owner Martha Hoover had excellent, if unorthodox, training for the restaurant business. She created a successful collection of establishments—Cafes Patachou, Petite Chou Bistro, Napolese Pizzeria and Public Greens Urban Kitchen. The restaurants reflect her lifelong passion for food and joie de vivre. A pioneer in the farm-to-table movement, Hoover’s restaurants now support over 30 local farms and purveyors, and serve hundreds of people a day. The goal for Patachou Inc. is a radically better and radically different organization, as laid out in Hoover’s 2020 vision for the company.

In 2013, Hoover created The Patachou Foundation to feed healthy meals to food insecure children in Indianapolis. The Foundation started small, adhered to smart growth strategies, and made an impact; in keeping with Patachou’s 2020 vision, is a radically different and radically better organization.
